Bluecoats 2015 lead trumpet SOLOIST Cam - Finals Week - Ben Gunnarson 

Your playing, and especially your upper register, is sooo solid.

Needs more four door mini van

Hi Ben! I just started playing trumpet 5 months ago. Now I'm ahead of my band buddies because you're an inspiration to me. Iv'e watched downside up and the hornline practices a million times! You're a super big inspiration for me to keep trying.

Did i hear someone say, "What are pick-ups?" ?

your an inspiration

Jesus, Ben, you are absolutely phenomenal!

Can someone write a book on how to be as good as Ben?

"Reach for the skyyy... 3, 4 Rrrrrah Shia surprise."

YAL ARE AWESOME!

8:23 if anyone wants the trio

I can't keep my upper body still while marching and playing

すばらしい！

Hey Ben, what kind of mouthpiece are you using now-a-days?

Hey at 8:47 is that a Buffalo Sabres Hat? Fellow Buffalonian????

Will we be getting a GoPro vid for this year? I'd love to hear your epic high solos from first person😄😄. I expect that video on my desk by the end of the season!!!!

Hey Ben, just wanted to say you are incredible. I have watched this video hundreds of times as well as your tilt video. I've been playing trumpet for 4 years now 6th grade through now my 9th grade year. I plan on auditioning for the bluecoats my senior year and I just have one question, what foot do you guys step off with? because I have watched all sorts of go pro videos and videos of runthroughs from the stands like multicam videos and I swear I see one move y'all step of with left foot, then another y'all use your right. it confuses me.

Hey Ben, I was thinking of trying to audition for the bluecoats either my junior or senior year (freshman right now) and I just wanted to know what do they have you do at auditions for both marching and music? Also I think your playing is amazing! I would love to be able to play like you in the future and I love watching your GoPro videos.

family friendly kids... what are pickups 😂😂

SHIA SURPRISE IM GONE

I ask something. When will you upload your latest video? Victory Run?

0:09 I’m just saying I know that guy in the UT shirt

I just landed a spot with the Colt Cadets for the 2017 season, sort of. It's not set in stone, because of financial problems, but if I can come up with $975 before June, I'm gonna be playing baritone for a drum corps for the first time.

I wanna march Bluecoats at some point, but I live in California. Would it be worth traveling to Ohio or would I be better off doing BD?

What tips do you have for building endurance and for getting more range?

What size is your marcinkiewicz mouthpiece

Hey Ben, I'm a huge fan. I know you've answered many questions to other trumpet players, but I also have some for you. At what age did you start playing trumpet? And since then, how much have you practiced at home? What tips do you have for someone trying to build chops? Thanks and keep up the good work.

shia surprise

On

I know that this is probably a frequently asked question, but how do you play so easily and cleanly in the upper register? Any tips?

Shia suprise LMAO

"Apple Bottom Jeans Girl!"

How come you close ur valves when you bring ur horn down?

Are you using the Go-Pro's microphone? Or an external mic?

What Marcinkiewicz mouthpiece do you use?

Ben I have a question for you What mouthpiece do you use

I named my cat after Willie.....

Ben do you have a email I can use to ask a few questions with, ty!

Are you marching 2017 bluecoats or have you aged out?

What mouthpiece is that? 3c?

What mouthpiece is this?

What kind of mutes are those at 8:30

were you on first or second part?

Why did the other one get deleted?

Hey Ben, is that Shane from 2016 at 4:21?

Hey, so when you go into a corps do they tell you a certain kind of trumpet tag you need? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I know this is a dumb question but do you know if they would allow anyone with braces into the corps? I am also wondering whats the youngest person you've had in the trumpet section this year. I just would like to know because I am one of the youngest kids at my school and I havent seen one person yet that isnt still too young to grow a full beard, lol. I cant wait to see you guys in San Antonio next year. Thanks!

6:22 I never see just the 3rd key held down. Doesn't it sound like a flat E?

What mouthpiece do you play o

shave and a haircut

was this your age out?

I came back to see the yoinky sploinky at 7:00
